How to play GitLab's Capture the Flag at home

In mid-March, the GitLab Application Security team launched a Capture the Flag (CTF) contest for GitLab team members, providing a hands-on application security experience with beginner-friendly challenges mainly focused on web security. The contest, initially intended for a company-wide event in Prague, was adapted for global online participation due to COVID-19, running from March 16 to March 27, 2020, with 50 participants. The CTF was made accessible for home use via Docker and Docker Compose, with all challenges and solutions available in a CTF-at-home repository. Participants were encouraged to share their experiences and feedback, with notable achievements from team members such as @cat and @ayufan, who solved all challenges in under three days. The event was well-received, fostering collaboration across different functional groups within GitLab, and plans for future CTFs were hinted at, inviting continued engagement through comments or social media.
